My experience at Gracie Barra East Naperville has been wonderful. Coach Andrew and his team are amazing coaches/instructors. They do a fantastic job breaking down all of the techniques to make it possible for even the novice like myself to understand and perform them correctly. He has also created a welcoming environment for new students and a kinda brotherhood between everyone that makes it fun, safe and rewarding for everyone who trains there. I cant imagine there could possibly be a better place to train bjj. I look forward to class everyday and fell so lucky that I found this Gracie Barra school.

Before finding Gracie Barra, I had a rough time adjusting to the big move from the east coast to the midwest. After 2 years of anxiety from the move, I found Gracie Barra; which was located just a minute walk from my home. From day one, just watching the professionalism, respect and enthusiasm from the coaches and the team members, I knew I was in good hands. Coaches treat every student with the upmost respect, creating a safe environment for everyone. I am never afraid to ask questions and always walk out one percent better. At the end of every class, coach provides us with lessons not only for BJJ but for your every day life. I have been at Gracie Barra East Naperville for 2 months and I can proudly say that this is the best decision of my life. Who wouldve known that after all these years happiness, strength, fulfillment, and family was right by my doorstep all along.Gracie Barra isnt just BJJ, its family.I look forward to eventually competing with the confidence that I was trained by one of the best BJJ coaches and martial arts school.

As a new student the environment is very respectful and the teachers, coaches, professors are all top notch jiu jitsu instructors. the facilities are clean and everyone is very welcoming. if you’re in between several schools. give gracie barra east naperville a try, you won’t regret it.

I’ve had an unbelievable experience here (going on 8 weeks now). I was hooked from day 1. Currently taking 5 classes a week and can’t get enough. The professors and coaches are not only top level trainers but also great people to be around and who do a great job of creating a positive environment for everyone from the causal learner to the serious practitioners and tournament seekers.

My daughters (ages 8 & 9) have been training here for over a year and they look forward to going every time. Professor Carlos, Coach Andrew, and the other trainers are very patient and very encouraging with children. My daughters are developing their skills nicely, and also growing in self-discipline and self-confidence. This is a great martial arts school.

Gracie Barra East Naperville is a great place if you are looking start Jiu-Jitsu. The team is friendly and super supportive. You will feel welcome and completely at home from day one. A wonderful experience overall.

Gracie Barra is not only martial arts school or self defense club, it is so much more. I feel very welcomed each class I take (and you could take as many classes as you wish), and each day you have opportunity to learn from different instructor (and btw they are all wonderful and talented). Theres also sense of community and respect. They do so much for kids like movie night or nerf battle night or six flags. I definitely recommend Gracie Barra East Naperville for kids and adults.

We enrolled our 8 year old son with ADHD into Jujitsu and Taekwondo. He had an over abundance of energy and no spacial awareness. He goes 4 times a week and now has a normal amount of energy after class. He sleeps much better with out sleep-walking or night terrors. He has learned some spacial awareness and about using the right amount of force. I’m so happy with how he had progressed. His self esteem has improved greatly as he gets stripes on his belt and a new color. I highly recommend them!

My son has been training here for about 3 years and absolutely loves it! Prof.Wang is very professional, he reaches a personal level with the students and takes the time getting to know each of them. Definitely recommend.

Gracie Barra is a school that encourages sparring for those who enjoy competition while teaching self-defense and Jiu-Jitsu techniques to ensure safety on the mats. Overall, a great place to train!

Gracie Barra East Naperville is an amazing school and teaching environment! Both myself and my 11-year old son take classes there, and the instructors are great teachers of jujitsu and kickboxing. The school is clean, friendly and well organized. I highly recommend the school for both adults and kids classes. Stop by and change your life!

Gracie Barra East Naperville has become a second home to me and has made such impacting change in my life. The instructors are amazingly trained and even better at teaching. I feel not only stronger personally but a part of a community. I couldnt ask for a better place to learn martial arts.

This school concentrates on safety, cleanliness, equality and Covid-19 protocol. The instructors teach the organized curriculum in a way all levels could understand with classes at various times. You form a feeling of a family with everyone who is a member of this school. I highly recommend stopping by if you would like to have an enhancement in your life!

It doesnt get any better for starting your jiu jitsu journey. Loads of class times from world-class instructors who truly care about you and your development. Be careful, you will become obsessed!

Gracie Barra East Naperville is a great facility with top-quality instructors! It’s very clean and well-maintained; I feel very safe training here during Covid-19 since it’s obvious that cleanliness and hygiene are extremely important to them. Classes are well-structured and high-quality. Everyone is treated as family member, rather than just another account number. I love it here!

My five year old son has been training here for the past three months during the pandemic. Im so impressed in their handling of safety and protocols to ensure our kids can continue with the program. Coach Andrew is very professional with the parents, continually providing feedback, while providing values such as discipline and respect to my son. Im really excited to watch my son mature with this program and under his tutelage.

So I’m about just a little over 3 months in of training at this place and so far, I’ve got nothing but positive things to say. Both Professor Carlos and Andrew have been my coaches for the most part and it’s just been great. They’ve welcomed me and a couple of others with open arms and have just been really helpful with my jiu-jitsu. Same goes for all my training partners there at Gracie Barra. They’re help & support has helped me feel more confident & relaxed on the matts, which goes a long way.

Such a welcome atmosphere! The best academy in Naperville!My children love taking Tae Kwon-Doe there! All of the instructors are so welcoming, friendly and professional. The follow with safety protocols and offer a variety of programs and they always have convenient schedules. They work with a variety of age-group, so nice and well-detailed to every student in their class.Id definitely recommend Gracie Barra East Naperville!

This school is professional and excellent in all aspects. Mr. Wang is an exceptional teacher who cares about each individual at the school. My son has increased his confidence and skills in Taekwondo & Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Mr. Wang also integrates discipline within each class and it reflects in my sons behavior. My son has been a student with Mr. Wang for a long time and he has been a positive influence in his life.

My experience here so far has been life changing. I have made great friendships and regained both discipline and structure in my life. Ive gotten back on track to achieve a lifelong goal of mine. Ive attended multiple gyms in the past and none come close to Gracie Barra and their professors and coaching staff.

My four year old daughter has been training here for the last year. Coach Andrew is very professional with the parents, and great with kids. I can tell they value safety, discipline, and fun for the kids program.They have an adults program as well. I have been training jiu jitsu for ten years, and I can tell you this school is second to none. They partner with Gracie Barra downers Grove, and we benefit from their shared leadership.

Great BJJ school in the western suburbs with direct lineage to Master Carlos Gracie. Andrew is a phenomenal coach with a lifetime of martial arts experience. Teaching martial arts is his sole career choice. His school is clean and professionally run. He also runs a great kids TaeKwonDo program, and is a two time national champion himself. One of my favorite partners on the mats.

Great place to learn and train! Incredibly clean and well run. The instruction at GB East Naperville is second to none. If you want to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu this is the place to go!

Great place to train with top notch instructors. The facility is always kept clean and hygienic and the professors create a great atmosphere to learn and compete.

High quality instruction and great environment for my daughter and for me!

This is the school you want to be a part of. Super convenient schedule to work with since it is pair with the Downers Grove location and the staff are knowledgeable, fun and caring. Miss a week of class and expect to get a phone call of them checking up on you, they want you in class and to teach you the art of jiu jitsu. Add in the fact they have no gi classes, advanced classes, and even kickboxing and you have an endless rabbit hole to explore and be part of.

Gracie Barra east Naperville is an awesome school that provides a safe, clean, family friendly environment. It offers world class instruction in jiu jitsu, tae kwon do and kickboxing which is rare to have all in one setting. I would definitely recommend for anyone of any level and age!

A gem in Naperville. Finally found a martial arts facility that not only works on forms and belts, but sees martial arts as a way of life, a greater way of being. Gracie Barra Naperville has incredible teachers in both Jiu Jitsu and Taekwondo. They are committed to the development of each student. The facilities are clean and great measures have been taken to ensure the well being and safety of the students. The culture of Gracie Barra is mutual respect, kindness and commitment to excellence. A perfect atmosphere for children and adults to become their best selves. Very grateful for the Naperville and Downers Grove locations, the teachers and the journey.

Coach Andrew and the rest of the awesome coaches and professors have helped me and many others achieve our dreams and our life goals on and off the mats. They really teach you the values and the meaning of jiu jitsu. Highly recommended

Gracie Barra East Naperville is one of the best martial art schools around. They have very effective Covid-19 procedures that keeps everyone safe and able to train anytime. They offer a wide range of classes ranging from Gi to No Gi, Kickboxing, competition and kids classes. If your looking to workout or to compete Gracie Barra East Naperville is the team you would want to join.

Can’t say enough about Gracie Barra - the instructors, facilities, professionalism and traditions not to mention the life changing program of instruction for Brazilian Jiu Jitsui.THEY MAKE YOU FEEL WELCOME AND A PART OF THE FAMILY THE MOMENT YOU WALK IN THE DOOR.

I love training at Gracie Barra with my daughter!! Its so much fun!!

GB East Naperville is an absolute beautiful academy. GB East Naperville for me is always some different type of positive and motivational energy. You couldn’t have someone better then Coach Andrew for the community. Your never too young and never too old to learn Jiu Jitsu or Kickboxing and even more that will help you go about your day.

This place is fantastic! Super clean and professional environment to train in. The coaching staff is awesome and I love coming here to learn. Both the Jiu Jitsu classes and Kickboxing are awesome!

I was first introduced to Jiu Jitsu about 15 years ago when I was enlisted in the U.S. Army. After a long break I decided to get back into it and joined Gracie Barra East Naperville in January of 2021. Ive been blown away by the professionalism of the instructors and the curriculum. They teach perfect technique to students. They also explain the importance of having the correct mentality in order to succeed in this art as well as the importance of staying physically fit and having a healthy diet. Alot of what we learn in class in the form of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu transfers over to real life in how we deal with everyday problems. The coaches are incredible and Professor Carlos is as qualified as any person can be when it comes to instructing BJJ. Coach Andrew is the main coach and hes amazing! He follows the same approach as Professor Carlos in every way of teaching. He is also very good at motivating his students to be better on and off the mats and takes the time to watch each one of his students so that he can help them identify their strengths and weaknesses. Since joining Gracie Barra I have become a happier and healthier person. I couldnt have found a better place to train and I cant recommend this gym enough!

Gracie Barra East Naperville is a great place to learn self defense and martial arts . A Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school for everyone . Coach Andy is an excellent instructor with a lifetime of experience. An awesome Jiu Jitsu and Taekwondo school .

My son and I have been going for BJJ classes the past month, and the instruction is excellent! They offer classes for 3-6 y/o, 7-16, and adults. There are girls and boys in the classes, and Coach Andrew is amazing at maintaining discipline while still making class fun for the kids. Program is excellent for self-defense, self-confidence, fitness, flexibility, and competition for all ages. There is also a family class on Saturdays where parents can train with their kids.Great instructors are not easy to find, and our family is very fortunate that Coach Andrew and this Gracie Barra facility opened so close to us!

Joining GB East Naperville was the best decision we have made. Gracie Barra provides top tier instruction, following the same curriculum across all GB schools so you know you are getting the best quality. Coach Andrew is both professional and entertaining; his teaching style caters to both beginners (kids, white belts) and colored belts. East Naperville has continued to provide a safe environment during COVID-19, cleaning the mats between every class, not allowing shoes inside, taking temperatures, and spacing out the training areas on the mat. Other than traditional BJJ, East Naperville also offers no-Gi advanced jiu jitsu and adult cardio kickboxing/functional workouts that complement your training and are amazing workouts. I cannot recommend Gracie Barra East Naperville enough!

My 8yr old son has been attending both Jiu Jitsu and Taekwondo With Coach Andrew. He absolutely loves both his classes. Coach Andrew not only teaches the kids great skills, but he also stresses discipline all while having fun. I was really impressed how well each kid is assessed and teamed up with others at their skill level. Right away it builds confidence. I would highly recommend Gracie Barra East Naperville!

Great place to learn something new that is fulfilling

I have been training with Coach Andrew for 3 or more years and my son had recently started classes with him in Taekwondo and Jiu Jitsu. While Coach Andrew approaches training and coaching adults with patience, he excels at coaching kids’ classes. With a balance of fun and discipline, the kids stay engaged for the entirety of the class. Coach Andrew is not only dedicated to the martial arts he practices, he is also dedicated to his students.

Mr. Wang is a GREAT teacher and mentor to these kids. He communicates very well and allows the children to grow into their potential with respectful guidance and instruction. I am so glad we found this place! If you havent already, call and start your trial today! Your kids will be sp much better off!!

This school is perfect for my daughters. They are very shy and intimidated by any type of martial arts, Coach Andrew is Extremely patient and caring, they won’t listen to me even though I train martial arts myself, however, he maintains their attention from his genuine personality, they are excited to go every weekend, great place to teach your kids about anti bullying and having self confidence

Professor Andrew runs a great school and program. I cant wait to go back for more classes and sparring!

Our daughters have shown so much growth in their skills as well as their life experiences. They are so proud of themselves when they talk to others about their Jiu Jitsu. We really appreciate the way the girls are taught how to show respect to their professor and their partners. We saw all of their hard work come the day they tried competition training. They sparred like never before and we were so proud to see them not give up.The professor teaches respect for Jiu Jitsu, respect for each other, and respect for themselves. As parents, we are forever grateful for the relationship Professor Wang has with the children. He truly shows them love and fairness. He truly has a deep love for Jiu Jitsu and it shows in every lesson he teaches. We have never doubted our decision to enroll in a martial arts and we are blessed to have found the perfect group.

Excellent teacher! Mr. Wang has a lot of martial arts experience and is very patient with all students. Kids enjoy his class a lot!

Mr. Wang is a great coach, he know how to teach kids. He coached my son for over a year this has given my son more confidence in everything he does.

Great place to train!

My 6 year old daughter has been taking Jiu Jitsu here under Coach Andrew for over a year now and enjoys it. It teaches her discipline, how to communicate and respect others and how to protect herself. Jiu Jitsu has also helped build her confidence. During this time with Covid, the gym has been offering zoom classes, private virtual lessons and limited in-person classes. They are trying to accommodate everyone which is great. We have visited the Downers Grove school for belt gradings and for special classes. Everyone there has been really supportive as well.~My daughter is taking Jiu Jitsu here with Coach Andrew.
